Captain America #312 - CGC 8.0 - Marvel Comics 1985

Discover a true piece of Marvel history with Captain America #312 , published in December 1985. This issue marks the first official appearance of Flag-Smasher (Karl Morgenthau) , a unique antagonist who directly challenges Captain America’s symbolic ideologies, making him one of the most intriguing and timely villains in comics.

A milestone in 1980s superhero fiction

Written by the legendary Mark Gruenwald , one of the key architects of the modern Cap mythology, this issue introduces us to an adversary who fights not for greed or power, but for an ideology: the end of national borders and nationalism itself. Flag-Smasher stands head-on against everything Captain America stands for, creating a narrative that's intense, profound, and surprisingly relevant even today.

The story is enhanced by the dynamic art of Paul Neary , with inks by Dennis Janke , giving the comic an aesthetic typical of the period but still extremely enjoyable.
